Foodscapes at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennal

By eating, we digest territories.
Foodscapes is the curatorial proposal for the Pavilion of Spain at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennal.

It is a journey through the architectures that feed the world; from the domestic laboratories of our kitchens to the vast operational landscapes that nourish our cities. At a time when energy debates are more pertinent than ever, food remains in the background, yet the way we produce, distribute, and consume it shapes our world more radically than any other energy source.

Through an audiovisual project of five short films, an archive in the form of a recipe book, and a public program of events and collective research, foodscapes surveys the present landscape of our food systems and looks towards the future to explore other possible models; ones that are capable of feeding the world without devouring the planet.
